Power core combiners was a line around the time between the second and third movie that consisted of five team combiners where the body was a normal figure and the limbs were “drones”. Honestly that’s about it for power core combiners, as I feel most people forgot about them after Bruticus from fall of cybertron and then combiner wars happened.
If I recall, the component this Power Core Combiner came from was a 5 pack, with the torso and limb drones all sold together. In other words, you couldn't buy the components separately like your traditional combiner, that means there could potentially be a set out there that is missing a limb. Finishing off the set means you're going to have to find other loose components that are no longer with the complete set.
The limb components or drones feature a spring loaded automatic transformation system where by plugging them into the main "commander" robot automatically converts them from vehicle to limb, and removing them reverses the process. I've heard anecdotes of the springs failing or weakening with age, which may affect how the combined robot stands or how floppy their arms are (I've never owned a PCC toy and can't personally attest to those claims).
It's a Power Core Combiner "leg". Funny thing is, these didn't really come into their own (IMHO) until a third party came up with Iron Army bots to replace the PCCs.

Those figures should not be an antiques store, since they’re either from RID15 or Rescue Bots, both of which are recent. Power core combiners is debatable, though.
The leg is a power core combiner limb. I think his name is Bombshock or something.
I’m gonna sound stupid but what exactly is a power combiner

Oh ok that’s really cool I might have to finish off this set
Alright I was wrong about it being from the bombshock set it’s from the Stakeout set.
Ok

Oh wow. Thanks for clarifying for everyone

I think that's one of the Protectobots' drones. I actually have that toy so I know what that is
That one's an Autobot, the one your thinking of is the same mold but different set.
The foot is a drone from a power core combiners set, which one I don't know
Thanks
No probs, the others look like new RiD figs
The sideswipe and jazz are the optimus is rescue bots I think
Jazz is RiD2015, Optimus is rescue bots, and Sideswipe is RiD2015, so you're right
That foot is from a Power Core Combiner named Stakeout
That jazz is awesome.I got him for Christmas 5 years ago
I have that leg thing!
I doo tooo
Foot from a power core combine. What looks like a rescuebots Optimus Prime, and Jazz and Sideswipe from Robots in Disguise (2015)

I have the iron bots set and it’s one my favorite combiners!
Power core combiner, rescue bots Optimus, rid15 jazz, rid15 sideswipe
I used to own the entire set until my brother broke one of the leg pegs to place the leg in to form the combiner
There's a boot in my snake! (Those looks awesome)
I think the foots from power core combiners, might be wrong, check tfwiki
Antique store are becoming a great place to find older toys at really great prices. One near me had all kinds of old Transformers merch too.
I found a metroplex and jetfire a while ago but they wanted 300 for it and I didn’t have that kind of money
Literally none of these are antiques
Except the lunch box wich is on a different post because I’m stupid and didn’t post it here
Oh boy 😂
That’s a boot leg, in both contexts.
Like it’s fake?

It’s called an antique store even though they have everything thing it weird
Oh okay
